Criticism Is Directed at t'enn Because of MciSichols Great Shooting From Free Line .. i. nni i-nnlintr It war to nn- ,.f.r Intercollcsiato League basketball ftimplonihlp, nccordlng to a critic on n V.,v York momlnff newspaper. The Tll and Blue, outclassed In throwing s.M KoalB, It winnlns solely on the ililous foul-Roal shooting of Cap ?, Danny McNIchol, of the Ited and "ho contend that a revision In tfio Tut-Ronl rules Is necessary to properly ermine,. :ho champion of the league. 1 it the powers that be In the inter- .ti.rlato uorM are conirmpmuDB u re J on of the foul-goal ruling, but Ed 31. McXIchol. coach of ho Penn team J! Tf,, ho has heard nothing officially concerning the matter. It Is contended, nnu triuniuuy, uiat vkhol in foul goals aU no lias score.! rial team has In field gouls. Last Monday's figures show that of the 103 tolnts scored ngalnst rlvnl teams by t'enn. M were mado by McNIchol on 4,Z throws, whllo tho entire Pcnn Jiom Kcorcd just 22 field Koala. There Zrt the contention that McNIchol nloni U responsible for the Ited and Jlluc victories and that the one-man nbllltj' c( the tenm Instciid of live is not for tht good of basketball. Every tlrao McNIchol etcps to the foul line the spectators can closo their ires und open them In n few seconds v, find another point has been registered .. i'i.nn. He is. beyond, doubt, the Dost deadly fonl-goal shoofcr that ever i traced the free lino In tho Inter- Critics raved hand, Is taught to keep ns far FRANK LEES STARS Amateur Sports IN DOBSON VICTORY .nAitA T.pnptip coma'"" ""-v-.., ,...,., u, . of "Mike" Sweeney, of tho lied and Ulue, who led the league In point irorcd. Yet Sweeney. In his palmiest llW8, neur camo near tho record Danny Is malting this season. It was I3d Thorpe, of tho New York t'nlvendtv teum. who remarked after the defeat of his tcom here that Mc NIchol was one of the best foul-goal (.hooters he had ever seen. A promi nent Cornell alumnus who witnessed tho Meat of his team hero last week re marked after the gamo that he hnd ntver seen a man the equal of McNIchol un the foul lint. Why the critic in should be leveled at Pcnn Is difficult to Me, tor COIuiiiDiu uuu uaiuuuuiu nine wed oO points cacn rrom mo ioui unc, Dartmouth 42. Princeton 25 and Yale I!4 It is contended by Eddie Mc NIchol, coach of tho Pcnn team, that rerv teum in the league has the same opportunity to develop a foul-goal shooter tho equal of Danny. Every team that meets Pcnn Is out to beat'l'enn, as they should be, and in the heat of play many fouls arc called, the opposition taking nil kinds of chances to prevent the Ited and Blue fiom scoring field goals. Pcnn, on tho other away from committing fouls ns Is pos sible and to let tho other team take chances to shoot field goals rather than foul them. It 13 contended by Eddie McNIchol that toarrm thnt play Pcnn. if they did not commit so many fouls on the lied and Ulue. would see Pcnn score many more field goals; nnd by the same token, if they aro fouled in being stopped from makinc field coals thev should have a chnnce to reap some benefits in J another wny. In discussing the matter Coach Mc NIchol had this to say: "I beneve thcro should be a set penalty when a player commits a foul. I do not favor the professional rule of each player fouled shooting his own foul, as in my obser vations in bnsketball I feel that it pro motes a tendency to foul players who arc poor shots from tho foul line. "Let tho penalty fit tho crime. Pe nalize the team committing the foul by nwarding a hnlf point or some other set ndvnntagc to the opposing side. Down New England wny, I hear, for every threo fouls committed by a team the opposition is awarded a point, and I believe UiIh would be nearer the correct solution of the problem of a chango Is desired." McNIchol'u Idea npnpar.i to bo a good one. Whatever may be the merit of the criticism it is on interesting fact thnt basketball is one of the few sports thnt makes one side earn the advantage it should get when the other sido violates a rule. In football, for instance, there is a lnuf i specified ncnaltv for each violation, and "" in . . a . i iuc execution ot mc penalty depends not n whit on the skill or ability ot the team offended. In basketball, if the opposing foul shooter succeeds in his attempt the offenders are penalized. If the foul throw is missed, the offenders go unscathed. What legislation will bo enacted can not bo forecasted nt this time. There nrc several nvcnuPH of cscnpe from the Speedy Forward's Fast Work Against Baldwin Rosults in 29-24 Triumph present method of the one-mnn system if the Intercollegiate Association has finally decided on a change. Thoro ore those persons who advance the suggestion that the remedy is the adoption of the rule of the professional element where the man fouled tosses the throw. Hut there are many who favor the rule where the foul will be punished by a specified pcnnlty, say a hulf point, or, as is the rule Down East in tho pro. fcssional game, one point ,for evcrj three fouls. The desire to tinker with the rules is not n bad omen, but Is the result of nn increasing demand for a revision of the scoring system, especially as the game of basketball has grown in popularity. It is a question thnt can be argued from many angles, but there nrc many Indi cations that a new method will be in force next year.

It was the only time this season thnt Dobson hns been nblo to lower tho colors of their opponents, but tho tri umph was clean-cut and there wns no doubt ns to the best team, that Is for last evening. Tho two clubr como to gether ngaln on Tuesday and the loco motlvo builders say they will reverse the score. Tho contest was close an exciting nnd was one of tho most rcmnrkable seen In this city all year. It was better played than many Eastern Lcaguo bat tles. The only thing lacking to make it the bucccss expected was the attend ance, which was not tip to that of former occasions when the leaders In this circuit camo together. Tho offi cers say it was due to'n rumor spread broadcast that tho admission fee had been doubled, when in renlity the regu lar tariff prevailed. Outscorcd from Field As far ns tho scoring from tho field is concerned, the match was one-siueu. Kvcrv nlavcr on the wlnnlnc aggrega tion, except "Ziddle" Trnutweln, came through with nt least one double-decker. Dobson registered eleven 2-pointers to four for Baldwin. The only player on the latter combination that wns able to picrco the net with any success was Gallagher, and he landed three tosses The other basket, by "Danks" Omen, was a circus toss, made while fouled and nlmost on tho floor. Lees was the star for Dobson with five baskets, und was ably assisted by I'etey KUpntrick, who made threo goals, and Livingstone, who accounted for two. Sam Moorhcad, who has been on the sidelines with Illness, wns back in the game and his defensive work wus responsible for the cutting off of many Baldwin shots. Tho game was close in tho first hnlf with Dobson ahead nt C-C, then the lead switching to Baldwin at 7-0 on Onllnghcr's snot. Onco more Dobson went ahead on two goals by Livingstone. Lees followed with a try and Kilpat rick ended tho period with n pair of two-pointers. Score, 17-0. Lees Stars in Final Sam Moorchcad started the final frame with a basket from the center. Dobson went ahead nt 10-13, but Bald win -fconf In thi nttlntncr tomnorflrllr on two-pointer by Gnllngher. Then Lees nnd Livingstone added goals and tbo fnlls fans approved ns their favorites wore lcudlng. 23-10. Baldwin kept plugging nlong and sevcrnl oni'-polntcrs with field gonls by Gracff nnd Gallagher brought the first half champions three points behind, at liTi-22. Itcfcrep Humscy called a double foul on Lccs for telling him how to offi ciate nnd this proved to be the turnlnc point of the game. A minute later Lees came through with two more sensational shots, which ended the contest in favor of Dobson, IW-IM. i W Boxing Lid on In Denver DenTtr, Feb. 23. rhlllp Van Clo. nvlv olcxt'il dlntnct attornrv or Denavr, clampM th lid on profffKlonnl boilnr whan hn an nounced h would nrrent bozera onararlni In a bout In Denver for pay.

The Gloucester County Hasebnll Lcnguo will mift thli evening at Olbbs town for the purpose of forming a new organization for tho 1021 Benson. There hag been some talk of admitting two new teams, making eight clubs In the league instead of six. Nothing, how ever, hns been done In the mnttcr and it will not bo known until after the meeting whether the circuit will be in creased. Most of the teams are well advanced in the mutter of organization. Wood bury is a trifle slow In getting under wny, but the town nlwnys puts a good team in tho field nnd there is no doubt they will be In the running again. Most of last year's players aro available, nlong with n number of others not in the game last season. Westvlllo is planning a much stronger club thnn last year and Pntilsboro is still busy with its basketball team, but the fans are certain Manager John Fitzgerald will turn out another cham pionship combination. Bridgeport and Olbbstown hnve both held organization meetings and intend to place strong teams in the field. Most of the powder nine will consist of hired players, while Bridgeport will, ns far n possible, depend on local tnlent. Glbbstown has ulrcady disposed of ?500 worth of stock nnd Bridgeport Is nlso selling shares. Swcdesboro, the first team to enter the league, will be managed by xhn American Legion l'ost there.
